Kiasmos - Full Performance (Live on KEXP)

[@hexis23]

I laught at people who say there's no good music anymore.

[@tylerao]

This is completely missing the point Not everyone is into dance music. The 50s-70s was peak American music. It was an amazing time of exploration. And the lyrics, oh the lyrics, like the greatest poets

Ólafur, whatever you do, starting from cruising around Iceland with a group of violinists, and ending with rolling those knobs and the ecstatic dude next to you shaking his hair in electronic hallelujah - I'm a complete and utter fan! You have a rare feel for music. Slow or fast-paced - It's meditative and touching on different levels. Love it!

[@kteren3]

Seriously, I'm also always down for anything that Oli creates.

[@aty1085]

I was listening to this Kiasmos Live session while walking in the night by the Main river when I visited Frankfurt am Main in Germany. Now every time I listen to this fantastic music, I remember the skyline of this futuristic, beautiful city. It just fits so well together.

[@nicholaslevintow956]

So true...listen to new music when you're experiencing a new environment and the music will forever take you back there. For me it's biking in the Swiss Jura to Max Cooper

Depressing/Sad music is the feeling of human's' impotence to understand happiness. Yet warm and nostalgic like an old memory, something you 've been experiencing in the past and now you don't. Like a change you 've been waiting for years but yet to come. Great feels! Great music!

[@TheSlowGrowth]

Nice to see that this set is much more "live" than other sets I've seen from Kiasmos. There are a bunch of smaller hickups that make it clear that this is not a fake performance. Also funny how Olafur is done at 42:13 but then realizes his buddy is preparing the next drop and quickly joins him to improvise a little more. I find this much more appealing than a super polished robot performance

[@dengueberries]

Yeah to me improvisation is everything. Check out Sebastian Mullaert /// Sebastian Mullaert and Ulf Eriksson

[@francescomilloni]

and actually the improvised final drop was IMMENSELY POWERFUL. Something unique. Luckily Janus aimed for that final section! :)
